No matter what the so called pandering pundits may say about
him, there is one thing you be sure of... he is consistent in his vision
especially when it comes to menswear. Without question there will be reviews
that say... boring... again? ... Really? … so not contemporary to the time but
I say who cares. The clothes are pure unadulterated Armani … lush, soft, and
only for those who want to be chic, understated and well-dressed with nary a
trend in sight.
The ever so relaxed attitude of the collection in its looser
fit, almost absence of color gives the Armani client 100s of pieces that will
fit or refresh their ever burgeoning or more probably over grown wardrobe. One
can sense the minimalism, restraint and subtlety present in this collection
with a total focus on the clothes … unencumbered by tricky styling. These are
clothes that last a lifetime, provided you don’t outgrow them and they will
never look “out of style.”
When and if you dare to compare Armani to Gucci and the like
you will find that one is for the kids or fashion victims who have no taste but
oodles of money, but not a shred of self-confidence and the other for those of
discerning taste who possess a confidence in knowing they wear the some of the best
that men’s fashion has to offer. In a way, to me, the Armani customer is akin
to the Hermes customer... he knows what he wears doesn’t scream or yell and
will only be noticed by those who are savvy enough to recognize it. Call this
if you will... silent signals!
The review is that the collection is all Armani all the way
... no gimmicks... no trying to be of the moment... no nothing except what he
does best.. Softly tailored suitings and separates that seduce the wearer.
